$25 per hour may not seem like a lot to most people, but when u are doing something that u love, purely for the love of it, then u would do it for peanuts!
And spending an entire day at an airfield, even if just working for half of that day....wouldn't worry me at all....i still get the joy of seeing the satisfaction of a student/pilots face when they step out of the aeroplane,after having spent an hour, enjoying their passion!..........Bring it on all day, every day, i say!!!
